One of the best old towns in Europe. Went during Easter holiday, there was a open market at the main square at the time serving all sorts of things (grilled foods, sweets and local crafts, etc). The old town is very picturesque with a classic castle, church, beautiful bridges and buildings. Several restaurants including a very good Indian and Turkish... More

The Altstadt is lovely, especially the closer you get to the castle. Given that 90% of Nuremberg was destroyed in the war the reconstruction has been fantastic, and the original remaining buildings are very well looked after. There are plenty of bars serving the local beers and sausages, and it is a very relaxing place to wander around. Quite small.

This old town is so pretty. I was impressed with the old buildings, and all of the rebuilding they did after WWII. Go to the castle, eat a bite at a cafe, go into the churches, as it's all walkable in the old city. The castle is up a hill, so be prepared to get a little workout walking about.

A number of old churches from various eras and at the top of the historic walk, a castle! The... More

My family is blessed to live within an easy train ride of Nuremberg. We have gone all through the year, every season and never been disappointed. The special markets like the Easter, Fall, and Christmas are sensational-especially the Christmas market. However the Christmas market is difficult to maneuver especially with a stroller, it is ALWAYS packed-so if you can go... More

We walked a path suggested by staff at the Victoria Hotel through the Altstadt and what a memorable walk past some beautiful buildings! The hill to the top of the town is quite steep, but worth it for the view! The town is a lovely mix of old and new - scenic water views and old buildings, and lots of... More

Although the city has been almost completely rebuilt, it still maintains its wonderful medieval charm with wonderfully modern shops and restaurants!
